“When I was young, my mother used to buy cuts of meat at a butcher shop in the north end of Boston called Al Capone's. That night she would always make her Al Capone Roast. This is a variation of my mothers recipe.”

I made this for my Wife and my Daughter came over with my Grandson, and all of them really enjoyed it. my Daughter asked me for the recipe so I printed it out for her. My Wife said I am welcome to make something new every week if it is going to be this good. I followed the recipe almost exactly with the exception of the mushroom and olive, I used an 8oz tub of fresh mushrooms ( sliced very thin) and a whole 6oz can of black olives otherwise exact quantities. I will definitely be making this again and again.

My mom shopped in the North End when I was young and would order the pork "Al Capone Special" ... it was so sad that they didn't re-open the shop after the fire.. my mom still makes this (from memory) for special occassions... It's a family favorite!

This is very creative and different. The first time I made it, it was a little salty, so I just cut down on the amount of the layered items (prosciutto & mortadella, mozz). Fabulous flavors in my opinion.

Awesome roast for a quick weeknight meal or a busy Sunday.My husband isn't a fan of olives but he said he didn't even taste them and that it was tasty. Warning: If you don't like prosciutto,mortadella and olives I'd say stay away from this recipe and look for something else.

I made this recipe for the first time for 6 people and it was a huge hit. Everyone wanted the recipe when they left and were still talking about it the next day. I omitted the olives and mushrooms and do not feel they were missed. I also substituted garlic powder for fresh minced garlic and really rubbed it into the meat. All of my cast iron skillets have rubber handles that I did not want to put into the oven. So I seared the roast on the stove, then put it into a Pyrex (2 qt) that I "Pammed" first. I was nervous that this would affect the cooking time but it was perfect to the minute. Can't wait to make it again!
